It seems that in my homeland - the Great White North - there are lots of people who are with me on the whole 'outdoors is sexy' theme.

A recent report in the Edmonton Sun quoted a study done by Trojan condoms about Canadians and sex. Here's a snippet:

"Women in particular say the Great Outdoors gets them frisky with 75 per cent saying they've had sex in a tent, compared to 65 per cent of men.

The national survey of adults ages 18 to 34 found that those living in Atlantic Canada have had the highest rates of tent sex at 80 per cent, closely followed by Quebecers at 78 per cent. Ontario, Saskatchewan and Manitoba residents lag behind at 67 per cent while Albertans had the lowest rate at 65 per cent."

That's a whole lot of Canadians getting it on inside their tents! And this in a country where, let's face it, the summer camping season is pretty short. So basically, if the tent is rockin', don't come knockin'!

Hey, anyone need a book on the subject for some fresh ideas? Anyone???
